  2. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

    If detonation is allowed to persist under extreme conditions or over many engine cycles, engine parts can be damaged or destroyed. The simplest deleterious effects are typically particle wear caused by moderate knocking, which may further ensue through the engine's oil system and cause wear on other parts before being trapped by the oil filter.

  3. Low-speed pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-Speed_Pre-Ignition

    LSPI events are random and infrequent, and their effects on impacted vehicles can include very high-pressure spikes, loud knocking noises and sometimes catastrophic engine damage. [4] It's commonly known as "Detonation or Knock". Engine management systems can overcome pre ignition by the means of a knock or detonation sensor.

  4. Octane rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

    A rating of 90 does not mean that the gasoline contains just iso-octane and heptane in these proportions, but that it has the same detonation resistance properties (generally, gasoline sold for common use never consists solely of iso-octane and heptane; it is a mixture of many hydrocarbons and often other additives).

  5. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

    The reduced engine speeds allow more time for autoignition chemistry to complete thus promoting the possibility of pre-ignition and so called "mega-knock". Under these circumstances, there is still significant debate as to the sources of the pre-ignition event. [3] Pre-ignition and engine knock both sharply increase combustion chamber temperatures.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating reports of alleged engine failures in GM's 6.2-liter L87 V-8, an engine used in a wide variety of trucks and SUVs. NHTSA ...

  7. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

  8. Flashback arrestor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_arrestor

    prevents dangerous gas mixtures. ensures the gas only flows in the intended direction. and a flame arrestor (FA), which: cools the flame to below the ignition temperature of the gas or gas mixture. prevents flashback. In addition to these two basic safety functions a flashback arrestor can also have a: Thermal cut-off valve (TV), which:
